CARLEN Sensors announces the launch of the AC190S Series, a new line of heavy-duty rotary encoders that provide SSI & BiSS interface and resolution up to 24 bits. Using an innovative sensing technology that allows for accurate position and speed sensing, this product family is built tough to withstand extreme temperatures, shock and vibration, wet and dirty environments.  To fit a variety of system needs; a compact version with cable or connector terminations, a terminal box option and an explosion proof model.  These three versions provide a rugged and reliable motion control solution for a wide range of harsh applications in the material handling, metal process, wind turbine, off highway vehicle, elevator, agriculture, oil and gas, and building automation industries.

The AC190S Series' heavy-duty design provides an ingress protection rating of IP66 and protects the internal components from exposure to the elements, making these encoders durable and well suited for dirty and dusty outdoor applications.  Encapsulated electronics protect the encoder from humidity, make it vibration, up to 200 m/s2 (55 to 2000 Hz)and shock resistant, up to 3000 m/s2 (5ms half-sine), and able to operate in extreme temperatures, from -40 up to +100. A standard stainless steel anodized housing resists corrosion and ensures long operational life.

The encoders' low profile design makes for easy installation into space-restricted applications where available shaft space is limited, such as between industrial duty motor flanges and fans or in back-to-back motor mountings.  A programmable option enables the user to select any resolution up to 24 bits, adding to its versatility in a wide variety of applications and reducing lead time and stocking costs.  Many mechanical configurations including shafted, through shaft, blind shaft or shaft with integrated coupling are available to suit particular applications.
